Brooklyn Workplace Injury Lawyer

Workplace injuries can have an immediate effect on your physical and mental health. Although we commonly associate workplace injuries with very physically demanding jobs like construction, the truth is that any workplace can cause an injury. Even an office job can cause an injury, either over time, such as back damage from sitting in a chair all day, or due to a heavy object falling from above. Regardless of the cause, you have the legal right to seek compensation, and our Brooklyn, NY workplace injury lawyer can help you pursue that right!

Brooklyn, NY Workplace Injury Lawyer

Following a workplace injury, the first step is often filing for workers’ compensation. New York has strict workers’ compensation laws that require many workplaces to provide insurance coverage to their workers should an injury happen. Workers’ compensation can cover medical expenses and lost wages. 

However, workers’ compensation often doesn’t go far enough, especially if your injury means a long recovery time. This compensation also doesn’t cover factors like emotional distress or pain and suffering. There’s also always the possibility that your employer or their insurance can try to deny you coverage. For example, they may argue that you have a preexisting condition or that you were violating workplace safety guidelines, resulting in the accident. While all of this is happening, you and your family will still be expected to pay the bills.

Our Brooklyn workplace injury lawyers understand the many challenges that workers face after an injury. We can help you every step of the way, from helping you fill out and file your paperwork to representing you in court should your case go to trial. Whether your injury is immediate, like a piece of equipment breaking a limb, or if your injury is the result of years of repetitive actions, we’re ready to listen to your story.
